Untitled[edit]

Citations would sure improve this. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:26, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

... and would help to deal with things like this. "…the mix of good and evil had touched everything, including God" was changed to "…the mix of good and evil had touched everything, except God". No citation for either view. No reason to believe one claim more than the other. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:39, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cut uncited POV[edit]

Cut: "Such a title belies a loose definition of socialism, however, and if Mazdak qualifies, then Plato, Christ, and the Yellow Turbans in China, who preceded Mazdak, were all proto-socialists." - Jmabel | Talk 03:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Influences[edit]

It was influenced by Plato too, I read it in persian sources and Mazdak teacher who influenced him lived sometime in Byzantine empire. Anti nationalism gang (talk) 15:50, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not enough. Either add a reliable citation (WP:RS) that supports it or leave the article alone. Otherwise if you continue you will be reported. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:52, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
